but it gave the Congress the chance at a vote, something they would not have had before (with this lawless president)
The vote was rigged to subvert the margin of votes needed for a treaty so that the votes required to defeat the vote was the same as required to adopt the treaty. Just opposite of what you think.
So my question is: why are we always decrying the Congress for not stopping Obama but then pissing and moaning about the one thing they actually tried to stop him?
That fake vote assured they could not stop it just opposite of what you seem to believe. Crooked politicians have made the art of deception their best tool for making money and keeping their teat sucking positions.
Guess why electing lesser evils is a bad idea.
Answer: your post explains it exactly.
“Crooked politicians have made the art of deception their best tool for making money and keeping their teat sucking positions.”
Exactly.
See, again, the infallible logic of actually having a vote and fighting to stop the deal, by any means necessary, is completely lost on folks who either cannot understand the process or simply refuse to believe it.
No Corker = no vote in Congress. Deal is signed by Obama in (illegal) executive action
Corker= requires both Senate and House to vote to STOP the bill (the opposite of the usual vote for affirmation). However, includes language requiring full text of the bill to be made available and requires a House vote instead of the usual Senate only vote. House Freedom Caucus was already working against the the Iran deal from the moment Corker was signed into law. Obama thought he’d pulled one over on the Congress and the American people, but what he did was give Congress the bully pulpit back and the ability to bring the issue before the people.
